Scoring for Men

My dad emailed this to me for Valentines Day my first year of college (9 years ago!) and I liked it so well that I still have the printed copy.

In the world of romance, one single rule applies: make the woman happy.

*Do something she likes and you get point.
*Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted.
*You don't get any points for doing something she expects! Sorry, that's the way the game is played.
